The concept of this was really entertaining. Two guys applying to be on a genderless blind dating show, looking to find someone to marry, with different motivations.

Liam is a sweetheart who is just looking for someone to spend the rest of his life with that fits into his farm life and continues to choose him. Blake is a character you don’t really like at the start. He’s introduced as this spoilt guy who lives off his parents, not doing much with his life. He goes on the show, even though he identifies as straight, therefore he can fulfill his parent’s ultimatum of being married before he turns 30 so that they don’t cut him off. 

Blake has amazing character growth throughout the show where he has a queer awakening and realises that finding a deep connection with his partner and planning a future together is more important than his parent’s money. 

I adored Blake’s over the top love of his dog and the farm animals. He really spiced up Liam’s life with his quirkiness and spontaneity. They completed one and another and over came the hurdles thrown at them, coming out stronger than ever together.
